5．With all the arrangements ______ for my parents'visit，I rang to confirm their time of arrival．（　　）

4．When the fire alarm ______，I just took my clothes quickly and ran out of the building．（　　）

3．The computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad．For example，when writing book reports and stories，I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper．That way，after my teacher checks my work，I can go back and make revisions without having to rewrite the whole thing．And Microsoft Word has a spell check!I use it all the time．
For English class，we are reading The Outsiders by S．E．Hinton．As pre-reading homework，my teacher asked us to research teenage groups on the Internet．I tried Google，Encarta，and Yahoo first，and finally found an article on Time．com．
For geography homework on the United States，I used Encarta to learn about the Mississippi River．I needed to find out how deep the river is，how its widths and depths are different，what states it runs through，and what kinds of fish live in it．I used the information to show how the geography of a country influences its economy．For example，the river's trade paths，the number of fish caught in it and the tourists it attracts directly affect Southerners'jobs and incomes．
I never go to the library to do research．It takes too much time．Since I live in New York City and both my parents work，getting to the library isn't always easy．For a big task or research project，I used to stay at the library to read，or sign out whatever books or magazines I needed．Now being able to find the information in my own living room makes everything a lot simpler．Online dictionaries and encyclopedias （百科全书） also save time．
Sometimes，I think the computer spoils my generation because it is so easy---at least physically．But computers are not like television，which does the thinking for you．You still have to use your mind．I prefer using a computer，easy，fun，and fast．
